Here is the announcement made on social media: “We have decided to suspend area C for today and tomorrow, but we invite you to limit your travel in the city”.

Then he added other directives, the concierges of private condominiums will have to think about cleaning the relevant sections of sidewalk, this to avoid creating blockages in the manholes . This would cause important consequences.

The parks will be closed until further notice, those that are open must not be frequented by users

Mayor Sala then underlined that the parks will remain closed until there is certainty that they can be reopened without inconvenience, problems and risks for anyone. When users can access, only then will there be certainty of complete and safe enjoyment for adults and children. As for tree-lined green areas and unfenced parks , the population must avoid access until further notice.

Soon there will be a count of the damages in the hope of being able to access regional and state funds for the natural disaster because the Lombardy Region does not have the possibility of acting alone. For this reason, President Fontana has requested a state of emergency.

Closures ordered by Mayor Beppe Sala and the President of the Lombardy Region

Also due to bad weather, 11 kindergartens and three nurseries were closed, where summer camps were held. Due to the storm during the night, there were significant water infiltrations and fallen trees. Not only the parks were closed but also the Castello Sfrozesco, Pac (Pavilion of Contemporary Art) and finally the Museum of Natural Science and Planetariums . All are located inside the Montanelli gardens.

Civil protection, firefighters and others are making a great effort to clear the streets and ensure a quick return to normality for everyone. Men and women have started working on all the roads, main and otherwise. Public transport is compromised mostly because of the presence of trees and branches along the routes.

For now there are at least thirty locations that are in difficulty, especially for the ATM overhead line. Instead, the registry offices have remained open, like the cemeteries, but you have to be careful.
